14 nights from Valparaiso, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina
February 12 26, 2012
Celebrity's Infinity
Experience the unmatched beauty of South America on a Pied Piper gay group cruise around South America. On this 14-night cruise you'll set sail to arrive in the contemporary urban capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires. On your journey around Cape Horn through the Strait of Magellan, you'll witness the unparalleled beauty and magnificent Patagonian countryside and soaring Chilean fjords. The journey begins in Valparaiso, the multi-cultural center and shipping capital of Chile.
Celebrity's Infinity
A sumptuous, world-class meal. A theatrical extravaganza reminiscent of the best on Broadway. Cocktails in a piano bar at midnight, breakfast overlooking the sea at sunrise. Each and every one is a reality on Infinity. A member of Celebrity's Millennium class of ships, Infinity is steeped with prestige and elegance. Dressed in polished marble, warm woods and etched glass, Infinity consistently makes a long-lasting, luxurious impression.
Valparaiso, Chile
The entire town of Valparaiso seems to precariously hang on precipitous cliffs, crisscrossed by narrow, twisting footpaths, stairways and the city's time-tested rapid transit system of funicular cars called ascensores. If you've never ridden one, you're in for a treat.
Puerto Montt, Chile
In this idyllic setting, surrounded by national parks, lakes and mountains, it's easy to understand why people come here to enjoy the outdoors "South-American style." Imagine sipping fine Chilean wine and enjoying some sausage after a few hours of testing your skills on the bountiful trout waters in the area.
Chilean Fjords
These are some of the most magnificent fjords in the world. As your eyes work their way up the jagged walls of mammoth glaciers, you may be rewarded with an Andean condor sighting. On the ocean's surface, the Magellanic penguins always put on a good show.
Strait Of Magellan
This 360-mile strait isolates the Tierra del Fuego archipelago from the rest of the South American continent, and is named after the ambitious Portuguese explorer and mariner Ferdinand Magellan. You'll retrace Magellan's route as you make the shortest crossing from Atlantic to Pacific between two land masses this side of the Panama Canal.
Punta Arenas, Chile
Punta Arenas is the southernmost point on the contiguous South American continent. It overlooks the Strait of Magellan and Otway Sound, home to colonies of sea lions and Magellanic penguins. Punta Arenas is also one of the few places on earth where you can snow ski while looking out over an ocean.
Ushuaia, Argentina
Surrounded on three sides by towering peaks, this former penal colony hardly seems like a suitable site to exact justice from the scourge of society. Certainly, even the scientifically inclined Charles Darwin must have had a difficult time leaving this Eden during his travels through the area.
Cape Horn, Chile
Here you will find Horn Island, the southernmost point of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, and the Americas for that matter. This is also the place you'll find the confluence of the mighty Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Wildlife is abundant, and our onboard naturalist will be on hand to point out the highlights of this diverse ecosystem.
Puerto Madryn, Argentina
The gateway to Patagonia, Puerto Madryn serves as a great base camp for explorers of all levels and abilities. You can venture into one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. This glacier-dotted landscape sometimes resembles a moonscape more than terra firma. Rich in wildlife and native flora, the Andean national parks and the Peninsula Valdes are also within reach of Puerto Madryn.
Punta Del Este, Uruguay
Known as the Saint-Tropez of Latin America, Punta del Este is a favorite summer playground of the rich and famous of southernmost South America, with a pristine 20-mile shoreline offering two distinctly different types of beaches. Big waves beckon surfers at la Brava, while calmer waters create ideal conditions for sailing, or just plain relaxing at La Mansa.
Montevideo, Uruguay
This walking city is a haven of open-air cafés and European-inspired squares. Don't miss the Museo de Gaucho, a fascinating look into the cowboy life, South American style. Even though Montevideo is surrounded by a continuous stretch of white-sand beach, you're never more than a taxi ride away from a museum, art gallery or a theater.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Birthplace of the Tango, and known as the Paris of the South, this cosmopolitan business center is rich in charm and culture. There are opera houses, museums and cathedrals that rival any in Europe. Puerto Madero, the city's oldest port, has been transformed into a vibrant restaurant and boutique center.
It's the perfect time to get away for the South American summer.
